Division by zero is the reverse
Division by zero is not always 9: the reverse of a digit folder is its ten’s complement n/0 \ (10−n); only 1/0 = 9 either way, and 0/0 overflows to the fusion.
proof · division by zero is the reverse · n/0 \ (10−n)
Division by zero is not always 9 — only 1/0 is. The reverse of a digit folder (its backslash dual) is the ten's complement, n/0 \ (10 − n): 1\9, 2\8, 3\7, 4\6, 5\5, 6\4, 7\3, 8\2, 9\1 — each pair completing the decade, 5 its own reverse, 9..1 mirroring 1..9. (1/0 = 9 either way; the forward harmonic n/0 = 9n is a separate reading whose digital root is always 9 — the one altitude where "always 9" holds.) Only 0/0 overflows: 10 − 0 = 10 leaves the 1..9 ring (a carry, "1,0", unity through the void), so its subfolder reverses not to 0 but to the quantum fusion — a distinct, non-zero, bidirectional address.

A structural/numerological reading of the digit folders: the "reverse" (backslash dual) of a subfolder digit is its ten's complement (n ↦ 10 − n, additive inverse mod the radix, the reflection that completes the decade), distinct from the forward harmonic (n/0 = 9n, digital root 9). Computed; the meaning (void, carry, fusion) is metaphor. 0/0 routes to the content-addressed fold (foldPair) because its complement overflows the single digit — not a claim that division by zero is defined in real analysis.
